Senator WONG (South Australia—Minister for Finance and Deregulation) (14:50): Prime Minister Gillard has achieved a successful vote in the House of Representatives today on a Labor reform that is about the future. I anticipate that, in years ahead, people will look back to people like Senator Joyce and they will talk about how he was on the wrong side of history again, just as those opposite were on Medicare, just as they were on superannuation and just as they were on Work Choices. They are always playing short-term politics and never looking to the future. I also remind Senator Joyce that his policy will oblige him to go to the next election arguing for lower pensions, because he is going to take the pension increase from pensioners, for higher taxes, because he is not going to be able to triple the tax-free threshold— Honourable senators interjecting— The PRESIDENT: It is not long now, another eight minutes and you can debate the issue. You know that. It is not the time now to debate the issue. Senator WONG: If he wants to look to the past perhaps, among many quotes, he could look to Senator Brandis, who said, in August 2009: The Opposition supports an emissions trading scheme.
